Arid and mountainous western US state, high-altitude vineyards (900–1,500 m) irrigated under a desert climate with marked day-night temperature swings preserving acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Sangiovese and Pinot Noir are the signature reds: fleshy with ripe fruits, garrigue, spice and a mineral touch, balanced tannins. Chardonnay, Sémillon, Malvasia Bianca and Muscat as fresh whites with citrus and ripe fruit. Greater Zion AVA in planning.
